YOUTH LO@Ks AT DEMOCRACY The Principal's Messages My dear Young Friends: 2 Тһе theme you have chosen for your graduating exercises is both appropriate б significant. At this critical time in the history of the world, democracy is on trial as it 2 never been before. As nation after nation falls before the irresistible military machine 2 а smooth-functioning dictatorship, the question uppermost in the minds of the people of ou nation is what can be done to preserve the remnant of freedom in the old world and гере the evil forces of tyranny from our own shores. Our great country is engaged today in a mighty effort to prevent the flickering fires of democracy from being completely extinguished in Europe. It is resolved that here ІП America these fires shall burn brighter and brighter that they may serve as a beacon ү struggling and foundering nations in a world buffeted and torn with the terrible storms 9 ruthless warfare. Thoughtful Americans have further resolved that we must purge our nation ої all those evil forces in our national life which prevent democracy from reaching its full fruitage in our favored land. The American people are beginning to see as never before that there are flaws in the American way of life that must be removed before democracy can have full sway among us. As democracy in Britain and in America goes under the microscope of world scrutiny, the dark spots which have been overlooked heretofore come sharply into view. Class hatred, race prejudice, religious intolerance, economic exploitations, and social proscription—these are the things we detest in Nazism and Fascism. Here in this last stronghold of democracy we must bend our national will to eliminate from our body politic these cankerous sores which, if unchecked, may ultimately destroy us. In these critical times, America turns to its youth. America's youth must fight its battles on land, on the seas, and in Ше air. America’s young men and young women must fight also the unspectacular but vitally important battles at the ballot box, in the courts, and on the forum which must also be won if democracy is to survive. To you as Negro youth and Ше роеп а leaders of your people these times are doubly critical. The Negro in America is the yardstick of American democracy. He is the man farthest down. Our great country's final decision with reference іо him will determine whether we shall, as a nation, tread the high road of national policy where all men shall be recognized as free and equal or whether we shall take the downward path to Fascism and Destruction. As young Americans, you must join with American youth everywhere to make our country what the founders of this nation dreamed that it would become—a land in which every man would have the inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This is the great principle for which you must give your all-your energies, your strength, your worldly possessions, and, if need be, your lives. Let us look at democracy and behold in it the salvation of humanity-the mighty áprtress of a Нее people, and the hope of the world. 2220 22
